When it comes to the emotional weight of 'Heaven Baby,' Starr candidly admitted that hearing the final product moved her to tears. "I didn’t want to get too excited until I heard the music…but when I heard the song, I literally, like, cried." This raw sincerity is likely to resonate with fans of both artists, who often express vulnerability through their art.
